Kyrielle Entry

Movie Time

by Wils

 

 

 

Sweet Saturday night excitement

A large crowd gathers at the door

The anticipation rises

It’s movie time that we adore

 

My hand grasps the paper ticket

Join the line at the candy store

Popcorn aroma fills my nose

It’s movie time that we adore

 

Lights go down in the cinema

Aura of silence, noise no more

Inside the world of fantasy

It's movie time that we adore

Some days I sing, some days I cry.
My soul's the one determines why.
Sometimes it laughs, sometime it mourns.
On my bouquet are many thorns.

Wake up each day, face a dqrk cloud.
My happiness wrapped in a shroud.
The day begins, to me it scorns.
On my bouquet are many thorns.

Lay down my head, dark nights begun.
With the sad setting of the sun.
From all my sorrows mycheart mourns.
On my bouquet are many thorns.
